Treatment

Chusgonobius transversalis ( Roewer, 1963) View in CoL comb. nov.

Platymessa transversalis Roewer, 1963: 52 View in CoL , fig. 14; Kury 2003: 81.

Type data. ♂ holotype, 1 ♂ paratype ( SMF RII 13948/299), from PERU, Cajamarca, Cueva de San Andrés , 30 km NE Cutervo .

Remarks. The allocation of this species to Platymessa is not supported by any combination of meaningful characters. On the other hand, we might tentatively transfer it to Chusgonobius based on (1) dorsal scutum narrow gamma-shaped; (2) shape of equuleus with long slender body forming a triangle, well-developed arms and feet and horns short, very close to each other; (3) femur IV of male moderately elongate, substraight, only bent on distal fourth and (4) a comb of five spines closely placed in a prolateral apical row of femur IV.
